Catchup-apps

Catchup Applications provides a digital navigation solution designed specifically for hospitals, aiming to help patients, visitors, and staff find their way efficiently from their home to treatment rooms within complex medical facilities. The platform integrates both outdoor and indoor navigation to create a seamless orientation infrastructure, reducing the need for users to ask for directions and easing navigation through large or intricate hospital buildings.

Key features of the system include outdoor navigation that guides users from their doorstep, through parking areas, and to the hospital entrance using the hospital's own app. Once inside, the service offers indoor navigation options: a tracking-free, step-by-step mode that can be set up within weeks, and a live mode that locates users in real time and supports navigation with voice instructions. The platform also includes a multimedia wayfinding system, allowing access via smartphone apps, web browsers, printed materials, or stationary terminals. Hospitals can further enhance the app by integrating news, events, Instagram feeds, and important phone numbers relevant to patients and visitors.

Catchup Applications is used in over 130 hospitals across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Luxembourg, ranging from major university clinics to smaller regional hospitals. The software is adaptable to various building structures and can be extended or integrated with existing digital services and interfaces as part of a hospital's broader digital strategy. The company collaborates with other providers to ensure compatibility and a tailored fit for each hospital's needs.

The solution is available in multiple languages, including German, English, Spanish, and French. It is delivered as a hospital-branded application accessible on smartphones, web browsers, printed guides, or terminals, offering flexibility for different user preferences.
